The president of the USA just announced, on live television, "investors will not be protected in the event a bank fails". So the investors are all pulling their money out and putting it elsewhere.

>groupthink SVB made terrible investments and gambled hundreds of billions of dollars, and then they lost. It's not groupthink the pull your money out of a sinking ship, it's idiotthink to keep it there.

Probably a dumb question, but what determines if a deposit is insured or not at an FDIC insured bank?

From what I understand, for this method to become profitable (or even reasonably close) the interest rates have to drop down to where they were when the bonds were purchased. Otherwise the bond yields will never be worth it and the price of

Probably the same reason the people who still work at twitter show up, it's either some weird sense of loyalty or perhaps it helps them feel like part of the "those who grind" clique. I dunno man, people are weird.

It is hilarious to me that: 1. I've never thought about this concept 2. I've never been exposed to it This world is absolutely wild. To be clear- I fully believe you, I've just never worked at a place where we relied on VBA i

Yeah, they're fun to work with. Some decent open source libraries to interact with their APIs too. I really appreciate the effort they put into APIs for their appliance.

Generally it's been my experience that if you're paying for Pure Storage cost is your last concern. Personally I have years of experience with their SANs and they're a dream to work with. But I also never had to write the che

I love this line of thinking, it's how old companies I worked with developed entire rest APIs using only AWS Lambda and after sinking tens of millions into it they abandoned it :) CAN IT BE DONE? OH YEAH!

So sustainable that the government is looking to take a 'low' interest loan, bet it, and if that doesn't pan out well they'll just tax us more: https://www.businessinsider.com/sovereign-wealth-fund-biden-

Fine what about this instead: a forced government propaganda campaign that is amplified 50x over, by all mainstream media corporations, that is designed to coerce you into getting a shot created by a company that has been fined over 10bn in

Hey man, nothing wrong with wanting to ensure your racial demographic is explicitly represented alongside others that are being explicitly represented!

I think you are unironically dumb as fuck, my first response to you was me asking if I misread something. Turn off your internet.

I'll take that wager- the IRS will audit you back what six years if they want to? The smart money says a government that's 24 trillion in debt, beholden to a private central bank that printed 16 trillion to keep alive a fake econo

>article about IRS auditing >person I'm replying to is talking about funding for auditing >IRS says they're going to hire 87,000 more auditors Gee I wonder what the results will be.

I think you're wrong- a huge portion of the US population just wants to be left alone. What you see on social media is just the vocal minority.
